bdaremote

Does anyone know how to uninstall bdaremote? Recently I noticed that my computer shows an icon in the lower right hand part of the system tray for BDARemote....I can't find aything on the web about it except that it is part of the ATI software or has something to do with watching live tv on the computer. I do not watch tv on this computer nor am I interested in doing so. There is no program associated with this icon in the add/remove program files list on my computer, either. Is this some kind of spyware? any suggestions? Thanks

It may be a malware.Some malware camouflage themselves as BDARemote.exe, particularly if they are located in c:\windows or c:\windows\system32 folder. Thus check the BDARemote.exe process on your pc whether it is pest.

you can also analyze the MD5 hash of the BDARemote.exe. Like Cycletech says if it's in Windows or System32, it may be malicious. It's proper location appears to be c:\Program Files\USB TV\, but I do not have it myself to say for sure. The MD5 of the one in the USB TV folder is 567A859810EC4AEDB0B10AE11B26DD73 or B0D2D80C30D30021F64AFEED590A12CE. To check the MD5 of the file, follow this article:

BDARemote is a process executed ATI video software. It may have been installed when you updated your video drivers. It is used by ATI for its USB TV tuner, and is installed by default when you upgrade your ATI video drivers.

I saw that you were new to the forums so welcome. I just wanted to let you know to be conscious of the date of the thread you are posting on. This one is old so the user is most likely not looking for an answer anymore. Also if he/she was subscribed to the thread they are getting emails and things about threads that are months old. Just for future reference : ) But thanks for pitching in anyways!
